Licensee is requesting an increase of capacity to 40 children and a room addition of P16. Facility currently has a capacity of 24 children and uses room P15. Present at the facility were the Director, 6 teachers, and 24 children (preschool aged). Facility was inspected today for health and safety hazards and measured to calculate capacity.
LPA and Director toured room P16 for health and safety hazards. Classroom has an industrial fire alarm, a smoke and carbon monoxide detector, and a fully charged fire extinguisher. Classroom has a bathroom with two toilets and one sink. A second sink outside of the bathroom will be used for children's use. Classroom currently has appropriate chairs and tables for children along with cots on the side wall. There is a storage space for children's personal belongings. Children's toys and other equipment will be moved into the classroom once the current family program, Family Connections, has fully moved out of the room.
Total useable indoor area for room P16 measures at 925.19 sq ft divided by 35 sq ft equals 26 children. Applicant is requesting an increase of capacity for a total of 40 children for rooms P15 and P16. Current outdoor area used for children measures at 4,170.99 sq ft divided by 70 equals 55 children.
An initial fire clearance inspection was conducted on Tuesday, November 16, 2021. A follow up inspection will be conducted by Fire Inspector once room has been fully furnished.
LPA will approve the increase of capacity to 40 children and room addition of P16 once fire clearance has been granted by Fire Inspector.
